Thought I would start posting my lifts up over here, seems like a great place with lots of strong Pler types.

So far I only have a couple meets up my sleeve, all raw with wraps but things are on the up over here in Australia so hopefully we can get more meets going locally.

Heres a weeks or so of training to kick it off.

ME Squat Day

I squatted vs 4 chains today, worked up to an attempt with 166kg on the bar and missed it. Bah, I think my stance was in a touch closer than normal. I did backoffs for reps after and then worked chins and hammies. Pretty good day despite the missed attempt.

Bench went pretty well today, I woorked around a 6rm, or very close to it and did sets. I felt better with each progressing set so parctice does make perfect! I then squatted with the SSB to a max and finished with military press. Good day.

ME Squat Day

Had a strong day today, I squatted with the straight bar and 3 chains + an orange band. This went well as I got pretty close to my record with just the band on there. I did quite a few sets then hit abs, GHRs to finish. Legs were all swole up after this! Good day.
